Thanks, Aaron. This kit doesn't have any optional parts, like the wheels and tires. But they can be kitbashed too, maybe Lindberg '64 Belvedere has correct wheels for this? I don't know, I'm not Mopar Expert...
-
Oh, thanks for the comments everyone! I'm bit late with the thanks, but somehow I missed them. This kit comes with this Super Stock Hemi only, but of course it can be kitbashed...

I don't know where those Valve Covers are from, or are they from Big Block or Small Block, but in 1:1 Scale there are SBC Valve Covers, what look just like that. I guess there's one pair of them still in the garage. You're doing great job on this! Engine looks very good, and the body design is great. I have one Monkees Mobile too, I got it free while back. Maybe something like this would get me going.

Dreaming of a model?
W-409 replied to jmpsebring's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I'd like to get a Model Kit of Edsel Bermuda '58. AMT 2 In 1 Kit would include some Custom parts too, that would be great to have... Other one what would be very interesting, is Chevrolet Malibu Classic. Great basis for Street Rat style build, or Stock Eliminator Drag Racer. And '63 Impala Z11 would be very interesting, too. This kit would be great basis for other '63 Chevy builds, since I've heard that Revell's body is not correct shape, and AMT's only good part is the body. -
The Hornet's Nest: Hudson Hornet Build Madness!
W-409 replied to Dr. Cranky's topic in Community Builds
The Top of My Hornet is painted White. It turned out pretty good, but when I took masking tapes off, I saw that there had been little "Leak" and now I need to do little fixing with blue paint. Luckily that white paint will be covered mostly with BMF, only little blue paint touch is needed. I will clearcoat the body soon. -
Thanks Steve, here's a little update. I scratchbuilt Electric Water Pump, which is made from square styrene tubing and little piece of round styrene tubing. I'm pretty happy about the result. Well, could be better of course but good enough for me.
-
Thanks Carl, And Brett! Not Much done, but I got the body polished. I'm pretty happy about the result, even if I couldn't polish other than the roof and trunk lid. That's because there are many decals on the sides of that car, and I didn't want to risk them with polishing - I just waxed those places. But otherwise I'm quite happy, hood needs to be polished yet, but I need to paint it first. I don't know why, but many times I forget to paint the hood at the same time, when I'm painting the body. Started Making Brake Lines, too. Anyway I don't have pics of them yet, but I had to do a little Mock Up.

Absolutely Great work. Everything looks so clean and nice, especially the paint job. Good tire and wheel choice too. Beautiful TransAm.

My first ever attempt at scratchbuilding. Upcoming rebuild.
W-409 replied to dimebolt's topic in Model Cars
Well this is cool! Excellent details and nice paintjob too. Wheels and tires fit nicely, this is just like 1:1 Barracuda Super Stocker. Can't wait to see more. Here's Finnish Hemi Barracuda Super Stocker for inspiration: -
Grey Peterbilt 379
W-409 replied to BigBad's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Very nice Peterbilt! You did great job, all details are great, and I love the overall look too. Really sharp Truck. -
Very nice Hemi Dart. Paint job is very cool, so shiny and smooth. Decals look excellent also. Where did you get those tire textes? Great job all in all, but maybe some black color for the panel lines next time?
-
I have always liked this car. The body shaping is excellent. It looks good in Factory Stock form, too. You did great job with this one. Clean and nice build.
-
Some pictures, not from Pro Sportsman Cars, but plumbing is pretty much the same. Couldn't find more, but I have them somewhere.... I keep looking and post few more pics if I find them. Hope These Help.
-
Thanks Fred, John and Dave, I appreciate the kind comments. The body is now ready to be polished, I guess. I'm going to continue working with this tomorrow with some engine detailing and hopefully I can get rest of parts painted. Polishing may take more than just one day, since I don't like it and it's pretty slow too. But hope to have something to show you tomorrow.

68 Firebird Drag Car. Updated with old wip pics
W-409 replied to dimebolt's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Very nice build! I like these 1st Generation Firebirds, especially this '68 looks good. You did good job with this one, everything seems to fit as they do in real life. Especially I like the wheels, very good idea and Execution. -
Wow, great job. This kit is not too great quality, but you built it very nicely. Great detail and paint too.
-
Awesome Build. This is The Kit, I've been thinking of buying and building some day. I've always liked it somehow, but never found this kit from Finland... Great job with the finishing of this one. Every little detail is just right, and it's funny model too, that's one reason why I like your builds too.
-
Very nice Nova! Those details sure look good, paint and decals are very nice also. You did awesome job with it. Only thing what caught my eye, is that "1969 Nova SS Used Under License"-Text on the chassis.

Early 60's Dragmaster IV - Update 08-03
W-409 replied to Bernard Kron's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Great project. These Dragsters are my favorite, these are cooler than Late 60's Front Engine Dragsters. I mean those what are way too long.... You're doing awesome job, as always. Frame and engine are looking beautiful. Like the pictures too, great job. -
Aluminum Willys Coupe: finished pictures posted 8/2/12
W-409 replied to John Teresi's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Looks incredible! Paint job is fantastic, as well as detailing. Very impressive paint job, and in short time! I really enjoy following this one. What Primer are you using? It looks better than the primer that I'm using. -

What Slows Down Your Builds?
W-409 replied to slusher's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
What slows down my builds, is parts. Many, Many times there are parts missing, and usually they are very hard to find from Finland. Sometimes the only way is to buy completely new kit, what is not so simple either, since I don't have so much money to spend on these, as some of you guys. And the kits are more expensive in here, too. Other thing what slows me down, is polishing the paint job. It's boring and there's big change to screw the whole paint job. There might be other things too, but they just didn't come up to my mind. -

The panel which is between the windscreen and hood. Sorry my English is not so great that I knew what is it in English, this is not my native language, you know.
